  1. Looking forward to it. I played the TS3 with Modus 105s and MMT 85s and shaft dramatically changes the feel of the ts3. So it wont be apples to apples but not wayyyy different. I can imagine these are going to be amazingly accurate with the rifles
  2. Let me know how you think they compare to the TS-1m. Classic shafts btw
  3. I recently got a shaft puller and pulled a bunch of shafts to repurpose. My favorite of the one I built is the Yamaha RMX Purchased the head and headcover for $70 I installed a Evenflow Green 6.0, lil chrome striped ferrule and chorded Tour Velvet Very Impressed with this 3 wood. Shape is excellent, forgiveness is as good as I have come across in a 15* 3W and the distance is as long as my Exotics CBX or Stealth. Headcover is very well crafted as well.
  4. You can save that shaft as it is now tip trimmed for a 5 or 7 wood
  5. I got a bunch of stuff recently. Most Importantly, I got a Hydraulic shaft Puller for my graphite shafts. Which gave me a bunch of nice shafts to repurpose. Being the fan of JDM stuff and uncommon brands, I found a Yamaha 3 w, 5 w 17*, and a Yonex 7w head for 120 all 3. So Popped some of the shafts I cleanly pulled in there and Built these. Ok the 3 wood is the most forgiving 3w I used in a very long time. I swung as hard as I could and it was just long on high. 240 carry which is 10-15 longer than usual. I was able to eagle a par 5 today as I landed it by the pin 246 out. Evenflow Green The 17 degree 5 wood also, being strong lofted and both of these having a large flat head, is as long as a typical 4 wood and gives me confidence and 20 less yards on average. Recoil shaft. Great choice for carrying just 1 FW wood. The Yonex is an intersting one. Being that I have the Maltby Hyway and played the Apex Utility wood, this is pretty much the same shape but with a deeper face. So it has a head the size of a large hybrid but plays just like the Apex UW. 41" Prolaunch red was used and I preferr it to my Srixon ZX 7 wood. Just so easy and also great for low bumps outta trees. I gotta do something about all these fw woods but the 3w is in the bag no question. It also happens to have a $500 retail....sheesh. Got the head and headcover for 70
  6. Yes. Do the ts3 stu. They are so easy to hit and the feel is amazing Just saw you got them... Nice pick with the ferrules... :)
  7. The 3 HL Stealth I have is very easy to hit. But I agree youre best off getting an adjustable 3, a 16.5 degree 4, or an adjustable 5
  8. Less expensive option is this as a driver replacement. Its long and low spinning. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266737369623
  9. Grabbed this Srixon 7 wood from Callaway preowned and while its long, it has a much smaller head than expected. Much smaller than my GBB 7wood. However, It seems to be about 5 yards longer. Came with a riptide shaft for $90. Not sure if it will replace the Great Big Bertha just based on the smaller face but havent mishit it yet and it looks awesome squaring up behind the ball.
  10. Reminds me of the Teardrop putters of yesteryear. Super clean
  11. These two are my favorites at the moment. My new PRGR Silverblade short slant mid-mallet And My Sizemore SB-2 with the UST freq Filtered putter shaft I had to put my other putters in a different location so I dont keep swapping them around just because. Just these two, this season. Give me strength. Both have a 80 G counterbalance weight. PRGR is just a weight installed in the top of the shaft and covered w grip and the Sizemore has the SS counterbalance. The feel on the SB-2 is amazing but I love the shape of mid-mallets like the PRGR, or Toulon Atlanta and some Scotties especially with a short slant and Im more consistent with that one by a little on short putts. Also a fan of the lesser known and uncommon
  12. Today I got a special delivery from Japan. I love this shape and the short slant with mid mallet is my fav type of putter. I found this on Golf Partner on ebay for $80 shipped which is a crazy deal for this putter. I never ordered from Japan on Ebay but to my surprise, it arrived 3 days later and with a perfect magnetic headcover, club head in plastic still. This seller is going to be getting a lot of my business as I love Japanese obscure stuff. The putter face is Aluminum milled and the body is carbon steel. Very soft, very balanced. Goin right into the bag.
  13. Without question. Honma is as good or better than most OEMS. Check out some reviews. https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/drivers/honma-tr20-440-driver-review The Vizard shafts are excellent but play a little softer than typical shafts due to the mid bend point on most and often are sub 50 grams typical japanese spec. So a stiff is more like a r+ and a reg flex is like a soft regular. This actually works very well for mid speed and the build the shafts to match the heads as a pair. each driver shaft is spine aligned and their adjustments keeps the shaft in the same place retaining the spine. It really is a hugely overlooked company in america. Other Honma drivers to look at is the Tw GS Speed and TW XP-1 as well as the TR20 460 all same price range. I personally played the XP-1 for a year and also have the hybrid. Entire line from woods to irons are phenomenal for a very clean GI setup. The xp-1 is very forgiving an aimed towards moderate swing speeds. Mild draw bias. Super clean. You can get them for $100 mint and The retail was $600 https://www.ebay.com/itm/196295915232 Also gets great reviews specifically for moderate speed players But the Honma driver I want is the tw757. Waiting for the head to go for $100 as theyre still pricey. Longer than the Stealth 2 https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/drivers/honma-tw757-s-driver-review I also play this 3 wood because I was able to buy the head for $45 and its one of my fav 3 woods of all time. https://golfersauthority.com/honma-tr21-fairway-big-lb-review/ I also use the TR21x as my 5 iron and I believe it is superior to the p790s If youre looking for a bargain with all the tech and wish to keep it classy, Honma is the best deal out right now with the heavy discounts.
  14. I got two new 2023 Wilson Staff Wedges for 160 and retail was the same as this model. Give wilson 6 months and the value will drop 50%. Some of the softest feeling wedges I ever played tho. Even the Dynapower woods and hybrids are around $100 now.
  15. Honma makes a great 440 cc head you can get for next to nothing as their made for USA stock is being sold for like 80% off. Honma TR20 440 The TSi4 head is 435 cc
